'Lonely Canadian' Has A Nephew & Two Minors Ages: 2 Yrs & 1 Yr.

[Rajpal (Admin)]

As per IRCC R117(1)(h) “Lonely Canadian” Rule, a Canadian citizen or permanent resident can sponsor ONE adult son/daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, niece/nephew to immigrate to Canada on a permanent basis. The person you are sponsoring must be related to you by blood. You cannot sponsor someone under the lonely Canadian rule if you have any of the following relatives living in Canada:

– Spouse/common-law partners

– Child

– Parent

– Grandparent

– Sibling

– Niece/Nephew

– Aunt/Uncle

As you have no relatives in Canada and no family members, whom you can sponsor anywhere else. Therefore, you qualify, and the children of the your nephew may be included in the same application.
